Dominoes

Dominoes tells the story of Layla, a mixed-race history teacher preparing to marry Andy, when she discovers that they have a shared history; one she finds unsettling and a threat to her friendships, her sense of identity and the wedding itself. As Layla pieces together her family tree, reminisces about the past and worries about the future, she tries to hold onto her friendship and her relationship, find out who she is and where she fits in.

Written and performed by Phoebe McIntosh, this bold solo show presents the mixed-race experience from a new perspective and asks if the difficulties of the past will always pose a threat to the future and if discovering your identity means picking a side.
